I have been suffering broadband disconnections whilst downloading lately, so I decided to install a Download Manager that would reconnect the downloads if interupted.

 

I installed Free Download Manager, but I couldn't work out how to access the file after I had downloaded, so I uninstalled it.

I also tried a couple of other free Download Managers, but my AVG system warned me about Trojans so I never installed them, one was Orbit.

 

Now, I can't download anything unless I do nothing else while its downloading.

I use to have the standard download box appear, which I minimised and went on to do something else on the PC.

What I get now is just a "note" on the right hand side of the taskbar saying ie. "1 download in progress", if I move away from that screen, the download stops.

 

Does anyone know how to get my PC's Download Manager back and can anyone recommend a "clean" easy to use Download Manager ?

What browser are you using? I use a plug in for Firefox which does what you're after, I'll have a little look and see what it's called

The version I am using is 3.07.

 

I have just downloaded "Down them all", which is a Download Manager Add-On and I don't like that very much.

I haven't used one for ages, but I did used to use FlashGet and it helped me out when I had connection problems.

I still use flashget now, have done for years. Nothing seems to compare to it.

Eventually I purchased Internet Download Manager 5.15 (although you can have it free for a limited time) and I am very pleased with it. :thumbs:
